Can hyperthyroidism hair loss be reversed?

I'm 25, and I was diagnosed with hyperthyroidism a few months ago. Before I was being treated for my hyperthyroidism, I started losing my hair. Can hair loss from hyperthyroidism be reversed?

To some extent yes. If you are not genetically predisposed for baldness you should recover your hair once your thyroid levels are controlled.
Probably not, but it's worth a try. There are medications now that will regrow hair, so see your doctor and get some Rogan. Or, if any is left, try transplants. Wigs and toupees are available, but you know many people shave their heads and think it cool, so try any of these, but beware of scams.
